First Baby Shower!

I had my first baby shower on Saturday Nov 25, given by David's wonderful mother and with the help of some other family members. This shower was for his family and church friends. I had worked the three nights before and was pretty exhausted that day, but the thrill of seeing everyone and staying busy kept me going! The tables were decorated beautifully and the food was delicious! They all did such a great job of celebrating the amazing baby! Sheree (David's mom) had everyone bring a life verse for the baby, so now we also have a collection of special scripture started by those who are most important to us. Two of my childhood friends Jessica and Amy. We hardly ever get to see each other :(A picture of me and our baby boy's Grandma Estes. She bought me the wonderful glider chair and ottoman as my gift :) I absolutely LOVE it, and I haven't even used if for the baby yet! :) She also got a us 2 special ornaments and a ton of CUTE CUTE CUTE stuffed animals that were used as center pieces at the tables.

Before I began opening gifts, David's Aunt Carol said a prayer of blessing for David, me, and our baby with all of the family surrounding me. It was a really neat experience!
No shower is complete without OSU gear! We also got socks and a pacifier to match!!
This adorable little onesie says "I fix things with my dad" on it! David was thrilled.
David came after the games so that he could open gifts with me and help tote things home. He had the important job or opening the cards! :)

The day was a complete success and we feel so blessed by everyone's generosity~ The Lord is so good!
